SEA FORT [Main Title]

Summary: An anti-aircraft/sea defence fort at a harbour's mouth, jointly manned by the Artillery, Engineers and Navy, and maintained by a daily ration boat visit.

Description: The film takes the form of a tour, working up from the machinery (pump and generator) and ammunition store in the cellar to the living and working quarters, emphasising the crowded conditions of the men, who are shown eating and relaxing. The fort's 'three watch' duty system is explained and staged sequences show air and sea-alarms. The film closes with another recreation sequence.
